VW Golf MK 5 Diesel - ESP warning lights - Thomas32

I have recently used my car in the snow, after spining and slipping home then the ESP, Brake fluid & ABS light have come on and remain on, I thought disconecting the battery may reset the fault as I have not hit anything but the lights remain on, any ideas to resolve and what costs may be incurred. Thanks

Have you driven the car since disconnecting the battery.Sometimes the system needs to reset itself once speed over 20 mph has been reached.hth
